After lossing the ODI series by New Zealand, Pakistan loss the captain also, these words are blowming in whole country today, as per expectation Younus gives his resignation  again to chairman PCB.

Now the board hiding  the news that Younus give it by himself or taken by the board because as per Younus performance,  he made just 22 runs against Kiwis, as captain, here one thing  is very important that younis says he was not satisfy with the senior players by cordination, by behaviour  but as far as our concern,  the politics between board,  players, seniour most players are become traditional issues which is killing the cricket from Pakistan day by day.

As the world knows,  Pakistan  win  T20 World Cup in the captain ship of Younis Khan in  June 2008 in the presence of all senior players who are playing today also, but there were no miscommunication between  the players we noted, then after losing any title or match why the board and players shows that there are somthing wrong like, issues, why they shows this image of Pakistan cricket in front of rest of world.

Pakistan loss the series by New Zealand due to shame full batting performance, presure,  as well as    ir-responsible  captaincy and,  we should have to improve the above mentioned weak points,  not to blam each other, our prays and well wishes will always with the players who perform for their country and bring the flag to the top most position.

Pakistan cricket is now again national pressure after losing the ODI series against New Zealand, as usual the all Pakistani nation feel sorrow and exchange thier emotions to each other and the Pakistani Cricket team’s unexpected peformance is the hot topic now this moment, will Younis give resign again ? Have Younis should leave the Captainship ? Is Younis performance, the main reason of crashing Pakistan team in front of New Zealand ? and so many questions like these are in the mind of every cricket lover in Pakistan.

On the contrary Younis give the non professional and non-acceptable statement that we were very close to the victory suddenly we loss, whereas every one knows that in this series younis made only 22 runs in  3 matches but he is ignoring his own performance, everyone understand that loss and victory are the part of any game but complain is occurs, that man should have to learn from losing moments and realize the  facts behind the scene.

At the other side chiarman of Pakistan cricket team Mr. Ijaz Butt states that Younis has been decided as captain but not sure to remain at coming mega event World Cup. This statement confuse that younis will be captain or not.

Pakistan cricket team, if we think it gives us so many heroic images, names who serve for thier country in the way which become the pleasant memory of history of Pakistan cricket, Pakistan cricket history is full of these sort of names who rule the world of cricket, and if we goes for counting and writing thier names we need couple of days to do so.

Pakistan cricket team undergoes so many uncertain circumstances durig so many years specialy after the unforgateble victory and unpredictable performance  of Pakistan team with leader like great Imran Khan, to win the world cup of 1992.

Afetr that pleasant moments nation expect that they will win every title every tournament every trip but it can never be happen because this is the game and loss and win are the part of game, but audience do not understand, every player of the world in any team of game can never like to perform un likely due to  discrepancy  of the open eyes of media, so we should have to understand that our players like to play wants to winany title but as shown above loss and victory are the part of any game.

This is the way to apreciate  our national heros not like this, if they won the World Cup 1992, beats India so many times, win big titles, beats Aussies, Became the T20 world Champions and so many more battles in whish our players proves the name of our country from the bottom of their hearts but when any title or tournament they loss, from any medium of media ,from the nation they faces discrepancies, shame, etc etc.This is not the right way to react with that heroes who are represent our country our nation.
